Our Process
The Elemental Process
Discover, Design, Build, Reveal — four clear stages that keep your project connected, transparent, and on schedule from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Step 01
Discover
We learn how you live, and what your home could become.
Every project begins with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We walk your home, talk through how your household actually uses each space, and listen to what's not working today. This is where we understand your goals, your priorities, and the realities of your property — before a single design decision gets made.
What To Expect
- An in-home or virtual consultation to discuss your goals
- A walkthrough of the spaces involved in your project
- An honest conversation about scope and investment range
Step 02
Design
Concepts, materials, and drawings take shape together.
Our designers translate your goals into layouts, material palettes, and drawings — refined together with you until the plan feels right. This is also where we build your transparent, itemized proposal, so you know exactly what's included and what it costs before construction begins.
What To Expect
- Layout concepts and material selections
- Detailed drawings and, where needed, permitting documents
- A transparent, itemized proposal for your approval
Step 03
Build
Your dedicated team builds with care and steady communication.
Construction begins once your design and proposal are approved. The same team that designed your project oversees the build, with a single point of contact managing scheduling, subcontractors, and day-to-day communication — so you're never left wondering what's happening in your own home.
What To Expect
- A clear construction schedule set before day one
- Regular progress updates from your project lead
- Careful protection of the parts of your home not under construction
Step 04
Reveal
A final walkthrough of the home you envisioned.
We walk the finished space with you, room by room, confirming every detail matches the vision we designed together. Any final touch-ups are addressed before we consider the project complete — and we remain a resource if questions come up after you've settled in.
What To Expect
- A detailed final walkthrough with your project lead
- Resolution of any remaining punch-list items
- Care and maintenance guidance for new materials and finishes
